I wish AW all the luck in the world. A great little player who should reach the very top. I imagine his dream (like mine and probably everyone of us) was to play for Rovers in the Prem. The frauds that have run this club for over a decade have denied a generational talent of that dream. “ The Blackburn football Club model” - We will now see what it really is. Is it the Brentford model that has been quoted ? Spending good money on decent up and coming prospects with a view to making money on them in a couple of years ? If this is not the case, and we are still dragging unknowns from boxes in Woolworths doorways hoping they can work some magic and make a player out of them then the frauds have been found out and this model is just dog sh1t to pull the wool over the fans eyes again. We know the usual excuses about late player sales don’t gives the chance etc but we also know GB said we have replacements lined up for all positions, manager, trainibg staff should they leave. This is the time we find out what our club is really about !!!!!

I think/hope going forward that the signings will be all tied up in good time ready for the window to open and will be done and dusted for at least a couple of top long term targets. With the new structure in place then that is achievable. We now have football people running this side of the game as opposed to criminals in the past.

The 3 previous games wouldn’t have done that though. Zero goals and very few chances.

Pickering has took some knocks on here but I thought he did well tonight. Got a bit of cover but played well. Trav did a decent stand in at RB and still found time to shithouse. Carter and Dom slotted on well too. with a couple of additions tomorrow we should have a decent squad if we can keep BBD , worry about his free transfer next year. If we go up it might be a different story. Ei ei eio

If nobody puts the cash up tomorrow and If he got a bad injury and out for a year and not quite recover his form then they might not all be clambering so his contract would see him good. Works both ways. Wish the lad all the luck whatever happens. He looks so happy at the moment though, would be a shame to go to a relegation prem club and go missing or be on the bench. Suppose our wage structure makes it very hard to get him to agree a new deal. Hoping for a decent day tomorrow.

We wish.

Could do with BBD signing a new 2 year contract with a 15 mil release clause. A bit of security for us and him. He will always get that big move and will get a choice of clubs if it isn’t rushed on transfer deadline day.

Any lip readers in this group. What did JDT say to Bowler at the end ? Didn’t seem like the first time they had chatted

Hirst saying he spoke to JDT a month ago about coming. Things are being kept quiet

The main question, if there is 2 in today is do we get a 10 minute warning or 2 x 5 minute warnings ???🤣

Really ? Didn’t know that. Good on him.

Could Venkys not buy 10,000 season tickets for their friends ?🤣

A mate of mine supports City. When their owners came in and wanted to get big quick without the fans/ revenue that’s what they apparently did. Decent wages with massive bonus money that couldn’t fail to be paid, this in turn got the players up to the money they wanted during the duration of the contract. It’s only the actual contract that counts and not the bonus money if what he told me is correct.

Utd’s is GK coach / scout so Kaminski is possible. Big clubs also probs running the rule over Phillips after Spurs interest. Can’t speak for Stoke players lol

Totally agree. We miss a Rothwell type player picking the ball up just in our half and driving at teams. He would defo do that. Probably one of the best in the league at doing that. Should be all out to get him but read somewhere we went in early and messed things up by pissing around, plus prem interest now. Would love him here though.

Why would we spend a single minute on a player who can’t get a work permit at this stage of the window 🤷🏻‍♂️. Absolutely crazy. Do it from the 2nd Sept for the next window. Even our club can’t be that stupid 👀

On a plus note Phil Jones not in the Utd squad tonight … he coming home he coming home …… Sorry , got to keep myself occupied with yet another year of uncertainty after all the hype and hope around the GB & JDT. Appointment. Rome wasn’t built in a day but Rovers need to be in the next 10 days. Quality is a must. Untested kids or lads from abroad take time to adjust, we need players to hit the ground running, although signing an up and coming decent striker to replace BBD next season would be nice. 🙏🏻🔵⚪️

Seems like we couldn’t find a Mitrovic type player in Mitrovic’s house on his day off at the moment 🤣

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Transfer related - just not Rovers. This reminds me of the day we welcomed Richard Brown to the club 🤣 When the fans come together it’s a strong power, as in this clip. We need that this season. If only the Blackburn end could sing together 🤣🤪

I agree. Thought he was decent until his injury. Struggled when he came back after injury

Absolutely. There is a difference between running at a full back with trickery and pushing it past them and ruining them with pure pace.

Agreed. If a team set up to stifle us then we have the early ball in behind option.

Again I ain’t seen enough of him. Don’t think he touched the ball at Celtic. You might be right guys. I stand to be corrected if this is the case
